박물관의 공간예술치유 프로그램이 방문객의 정서안정, 자아존중감, 사회적 유대감 향상에 미치는 영향 연구: 몰입의 매개효과를 중심으로

This study empirically analyzed the impact of museum-based spatial art therapy programs on visitors' emotional stability, self-esteem, and social connectedness. The results showed that participants in the program scored significantly higher in emotional stability, self-esteem, and social connectedness compared to non-participants, indicating that the program is effective in enhancing participants' psychological stability and social connectedness. Additionally, the effects were further amplified with longer and more frequent participation in the program. In particular, the program showed significant positive effects on emotional stability (non-aggressiveness, relaxation level, and sense of superiority), self-esteem (global, social, and family self-esteem), and social connectedness. These results suggest that museums can play a role beyond being educational spaces, contributing to individuals' psychological growth and the formation of social bonds as community hubs. This study provides empirical evidence that museum-based spatial art therapy programs positively influence visitors' emotional stability, self-esteem, and social connectedness, supporting the effectiveness of museum programs in promoting psychological stability and social connectedness. The findings suggest that museum-based spatial art therapy programs are important tools for enhancing visitors' well-being and health. This study demonstrates that museums can take on new roles in psychological healing and strengthening social bonds, providing a basis for the implementation of such programs in more museums, making it a study of significant importance.
